BIOGRAPHY
Funmilayo Ngozi is an award winning international Gospel recording artist hailing from Atlanta, Georgia.

Ngozi has received numerous accolades for her service in education and as a recording artist. She has received the New Artist Profile Artist of the Year, Sylvia McNair Soprano Award, 2015-2016 Teacher of the Year, The Golden Apple Award, recognition by mainstream radio station Raw Soul of the UK as "Future Pioneer,” Gospel Station WNRR 1380 AM as one of the top Independent Artists in Gospel music for her single “I Know A Man,” Opera Carolina Apprenticeship, International recognition for her debut album “Unconstrained” charting on the UK Soul Chart at #2, 2016 Rhythm of Gospel Award, and two GRAMMY nominations from the GRAMMY Foundation as of recent, to name a few. Ngozi has had the opportunity to write music for notable Parisian Producer Tom Glide of France with the single “All I Need is You” charting at #1 on Soul and House music charts throughout Europe.
Funmilayo Ngozi is a Levite, coach, songstress, worshiper, teacher, student, an auntie, wife, friend, sister, and a follower of Christ the Lord. Having received classical formal training in music, Ngozi fell in love with the sound of Gospel music and the Gospel at an early age. It was her desire to use her gift not for pleasure but for testimonial moments of witness in which she could encourage, and spread a message of hope in the Lord. While her sound is unique and often mistaken for artists that have pioneered the sound of Soul, the message in her music continues to account for how great the Lord is.
Ngozi currently resides in Augusta, Georgia with her husband Samuel and is a Chorus teacher for the Richmond County School District. In her spare time she enjoys working on special projects with students, shopping, and serving in the church.
